ntfs3 in the Linux kernel through 6.8.0 allows a physically proximate attacker to read kernel memory by mounting a filesystem (e.g., if a Linux distribution is configured to allow unprivileged mounts of removable media) and then leveraging local access to trigger an out-of-bounds read. A length value can be larger than the amount of memory allocated. NOTE: the supplier's perspective is that there is no vulnerability when an attack requires an attacker-modified filesystem image.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ntfs3 in the Linux kernel through 6.8.0 allows a physically proximate attacker to read kernel memory by     mounting a filesystem (e.g., if a Linux distribution is configured to allow unprivileged mounts of     removable media) and then leveraging local access to trigger an out-of-bounds read. A length value can be     larger than the amount of memory allocated. NOTE: the supplier's perspective is that there is no     vulnerability when an attack requires an attacker-modified filesystem image. (CVE-2023-45896)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-794 advisory.
